More than a year after a man was trapped and fatally burned inside an Edmonton smokehouse facility, 26 workplace safety charges have been laid in his death.
Meat manufacturing company Sofina Foods Inc. is facing charges under Alberta's Occupational Health and Safety Act in the death of Samir Subedi, 33.
I have questions why he would ever enter the smoker, by AV law they have to have an external thermometer system and a chart recorder system to log the temp cycle. Him going inside almost feels like suicide.
I experienced a tragedy at work, when an insane man placed his 2 infant sons inside a ladle and put a torch on the top and lit it. The temperature quickly reached 1500 degrees F. and fortunately the boys passed out due to lack of oxygen. This was on Thanksgiving day, 1987. The fire rescue teams said it was the most horrific thing that they ever dealt with. I could still smell the horror the following Monday. It very nearly made me quit the job. But with a family to support and poor options I had to stay. But it is the kind of thing that you never get over. Even now I still think of it every Thanksgiving, and the smell is always something that is in my mind.
Did the man not have a cell phone? Sounds fishy as hell.
ReplyDeleteGoing by the name I presume the, er, product was halal?
ReplyDeleteWelcome back,Kenny.
ReplyDeleteThe coroner said he might have survived if the firefighters hadn't spritzed him with cider vinegar and left him wrapped up in a cooler.
ReplyDeleteShip that one down to Haiti. They will enjoy the new flavor profile.
ReplyDeleteThat's what they get for letting in all those Ay-Rabs. Welcome back Ken. Jeff C in NC
ReplyDeleteHe was from Nepal, so not Arab. Religiously, most likely Hindu or Buddhist.

Walk in Freezer doors, by law, have had a way to open the door from the inside, since forever, but not ovens?
